X6 3.5 with 22" modulare M10

Just pick up my car last week and received the wheels today, now I just have to wait for those springs to complete it. Oh, sorry for the poor pictures.

Beautiful car! and Beautiful wheels! I love how the face matches the space grey of the car. Are you certain the profile matches the car, though?

Anyway, nice GT3 RS behind your car, as well.

Agree that the color of the X6 is nice. Wheels are the wrong style and type for an X6. They look like they belong on an Altima or Nissan Murano.

I don't know why folks have issues with BMW's OEM wheels. A lot of work goes into matching the ideal style for the car. So while one can change from OEM wheels, rarely, and I mean very rarely does the car look better.

p.s. It makes no sense to lower car with running boards. If you lower, remove the running boards.

Agreed with the crowd, something seems off with those wheels, are you sure the tire sizes are correct as everyone is suggesting? Just take your old wheels and place them next to the car with the new wheels and make sure the overall height of the wheels+tires is the same..

Those look like 20s.

This definitely alters the way we perceive the tuning of a X6. M10s are definitely a rare style though.

Probably need to wait till I lower the ride height, see if it helps a little.

We have a X5 with 21's at the dealership and the size of the tires are 285/35/21 and the rear tire is 325/30/21. Ours a low profile also but you may be right about his being too low. They look like 22's that were meant for a 7 series. His tire size shoule be 285/30/22 and 325/25/22 if he runs it in the right size. The wheels we have are BMW accesory wheels and the tire is the same height as stock.

To the OP what size tires are you running? Once i Know this I can tell if they are smaller in diameter than the stock tires.

315/25/24 are a little taller than stock but it is not very noticeable. Like I said in my above post they look like 22's that are made to run on a 7 sereis because the profile is so low.

man those wheels +tires look like they were stolen from 3 series or something, they look really really small, you need much bigger tires to fill up the arches.
